Live With Your Own Body

It is very important that you learn to live with your own body. The moment you think that another's body or another's dimensions are more attractive, you create a gap between yourself and your body.

I have seen people who have photographs of male or female models in the walls of their rooms and do physical exercises to attain the body structure of the model. Be very clear: When you think that another's body is more beautiful, you create a distance between you and you.

All these unconscious ways of looking at another's body creates undesirable side effects in your Being. None of us deeply love our body. We carry it like a load that's all. It is like a boarding and lodging concept to us. We are never inside our body because we hate it. We are everywhere else except in our bodies. We therefore have a continuous uneasiness in us and are ready to burst at any time.

For example: If your driver does something minor, you explode effortlessly. At work, you are continuously in an irritable mood. Don't think the reasons for these lie with the people around you. People tell me, "Swamiji, all my workers are so inefficient and that is why I get irritated." Please understand: This is not the reason for your irritability. You are not at ease with your body and that is what causes the uneasiness and irritation in your system. It is a very subtle reason and that is why it is difficult to perceive it.
